Milan Dinner and Show at Maison Milano

Visit: Maison Milano, Via Lodovico Montegani, 68, 20141 Milano MI, Italy

Make your way to Maison Milano, just south of Milan’s Centro Storico. Built on the site of an early 20th-century post office, the restaurant is now one of the city’s chicest eateries. Take a seat at your table inside the stylish bar-restaurant, and relax as attentive waiting staff serve up your 4-course dinner. The menu at Maison Milano changes each month, but the fare is usually traditional Italian and features several meat-based dishes. See the Itinerary for a sample menu.

As you savor dinner, a series of 15-minute shows take place on the stage in front of you. Much like the menu, the program isn’t fixed, but performances always include live entertainment. Book a Thursday for a cabaret show; select a Friday to see burlesque, a live band and DJ set; or visit on a Saturday for a burlesque-circus-DJ combination.

When the show finishes, feel free to continue your evening at Maison Milan’s bar. Drinks are at your own expense, but the killer cocktails are worthwhile.
